3 Installation
Before installation
3.1.1 Safety check
• Check for transport damages.
• Before connecting the product to the power supply, check that the power supply voltage and
current rating corresponds with the power supply details shown on the product rating label.
The charge point must be installed only by a licensed electrician in accordance with the provisions of the
local electrical industry construction and should comply with national electrical codes and standards.
Before installing the charge point, make sure you have read all of these instructions in this manual and
fully understand its contents.
Appropriate protection is required when connecting to a main switchboard. The tools and parts used as
outlined in the section “Tools & parts required for installation”.
3.1.2 Grounding instructions
The charge point must be implemented equipment grounding through a permanent wiring system or an
equipment grounding conductor. Use a wire with a dedicated grounding wire and a ring terminal and
connected to the equipment ground terminal block for grounding.
CAUTION
: Disconnect the power
supply before installing or repairing the charge point. Failure
to do so may result in physical injury or damage to the power supply system and the charge
point.
CAUTION: Avoid touching or pressing the OLED screen all times, as this may result in damage
to the OLED screen.
DANGER: RISK OF SUFFOCATION
Keep any packing materials away from children – these materials are a potential source of
danger, e.g. suffocation.
